— Haida Culture Thrives at Ocean House Lodge

“Haida Gwaii rises from the mist like a half-drowned world…unlike anywhere else on Earth. Cedar and sitka spruce draped in green moss tower hundreds of feet above the shore; seabirds, including bald eagles, soar through the sky; orcas, humpbacks and grey whales migrate through seas swollen with salmon. It’s called the “Galapagos of the North” for a reason — the world feels more alive here, wilder and vast.”
